I am terribly sorry to have to inform you that Chih-Pien – Songlines to us fellow HTLALers – has passed away. Her
brother has asked that I inform forum members on his behalf.

Her passion for language learning and her constant desire to help other forum members, most notably her
Deuxièmistes learning log partners, will be greatly missed.

A service will be held in Toronto on August 28th. Details are as follows:

In memory of Chen Chih-Pien

We're deeply saddened to announce the unexpected but peaceful death of Chih-Pien on Tuesday, 19 August 2014 at
St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto. Beloved daughter of Chen Chi Nan and Seok Im, loving sister of Hao (Paul Genney),
Hsin, Ying (George Watt), and Feng, and "favourite" aunt of William, Lin, and Sam.

Visitation will be held on 28 August beginning at 5:30 pm at Rosar-Morrison Funeral Home & Chapel, 467
Sherbourne St., Toronto. The memorial service will be held at 6:00 pm, followed by a reception.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made. The family is selecting a charity that reflects Pien's lifelong
interests. Details to be advised. A second memorial service will be held in Vancouver at a date to be arranged.

This is a shock. I don't know what to say, but it's sad. I hope that Chih-Pien's family have plenty of warmth
and support for each other in this sad time and can relish in the beautiful memories of her lovely character.
That's perhaps a little presumptuous, but I'd assume given her very kind and helpful nature here on HTLAL
that it was a reflection of her nature with her friends and family out in the real world. Goodbye Songlines, and
thanks for your help and leadership. We will miss you.

I've been following Songline's log for nearly as long as I've been using HTLAL. It's strange in this day and age how you can know someone you never met; I didn't know her in person, but I shared in one of her life passions. I will miss her.

Regarding team Team Deuxième leadership. I've had a slight change of heart. I'm not prepared to take on
the role entirely. Jeffers has agreed he would share the role with me. We're both a little uncertain what
leadership entails exactly but utilising common sense feel we have a fair idea...

I'd like to emphasize the qualities of support and guidance devoid of hierarchy. We're all learners in Team
2ème so I think I can speak for Jeffers as well in saying we simply want to learn French (slightly obvious?).
Any objections are welcome. I figured Jeffers and I were present quite a lot here and no other 'solid'
nominations have been made as yet. Of course we could just opt for a fully-flung real democracy in which we
all 'put in' without any single leader(s), but if ppl are happy Jeffers and I will carry on?
